## Summary

Lancashire Constabulary has completed a procurement process under the title "Drone Equipment Conversion" within the non-piloted aircraft industry category. The procurement pertains to upgrading and converting drone detection equipment, and was facilitated through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Dedrone was the appointed supplier, responsible for delivering the required services. The contract, valued at £36,000, spans from 1st December 2024 to 30th November 2028, targeting the North West region of the United Kingdom. The tender process concluded with an award decision published on 11th December 2024.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in drone technology and ancillary services, particularly those capable of delivering high-quality drone detection and conversion solutions. While the procurement method was selective and did not favour SMEs or VCSEs, large enterprises with a proven track record in the industry would have found this tender advantageous. Businesses capable of participating in framework agreements and offering innovative and efficient drone services stand to benefit considerably from such opportunities in the growing field of security and surveillance technology.
